Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] publish.php with basic auth, write to user specific calendar..

[Wesley M. <we...@we...>]

Hi,

I thought all the SF stuff automatically got moved over to SVN a while  
back. Guess I didn't pay much attention.

Blake, would it make some sense to try and build out a "default"  
calendar file setting for users via the configuration file? I think it  
might already be implicitly defined through the calendars you're  
supposed to be able to see when you authenticate. Maybe the first  
calendar indicated in the list.

The only reason I'm thinking of it along these lines instead of  
specifically to username is choosing the default calendar makes things  
a little more flexible and is likely to apply to more deployments.

I don't think publish.php is that integrated with the rest of the  
authentication stuff, but I haven't looked at it myself as I never  
used it. If it isn't integrated, perhaps it should be. And then some  
things would be gained.

I'm not entirely sure about the write permissions though....

Later,
Wes
